Hi everyone! It was so nice to get away for 3 days. I had never been to Croatia before (landed only for work, without staying there) and lately it was constantly on my mind. I needed to put on my list. And that was a really great idea, because itΒ΄s beautiful there! I also really like to share this short trip with you in several posts. I bought this nice set at Costes months ago. It is a loose blouse and skirt, which you can wear as a dress or as separate items. Really thought it fit for a fun trip this year. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Split

Hi everyone! Just got back from my 3 day leisure trip to Split last night, did a working flight to Malaga this morning, and already posted an outfit online from my trip! I recieved a lot of positive comments about this princess-like outfit, so I wanted it to be the first to be upload. I love this color! I was secretly not very fond of this color before, until I gave it a try, and since then I’ve really loved it! I find it really suitable for a holiday abroad so perfect for my last minute to Split. The trip last minute turned into 3 days instead of 4 last minute. I really enjoyed my trip anyways, I’ll be sharing more soon! [Lees meer…]

Beauty pageant Diary | Miss Netherlands (Miss World) finale

21/07/2021 | 2 Reacties

After an intensive year, the final of Miss World Netherlands is a fact. I’ve grown a lot as a woman and often stepped out of my comfort zone (I love). I didn’t win myself, but my good friend Dilay Willemstein was allowed to take home the beautiful crown, which Brenda Muste handed over to her. I am grateful that because of something ‘negative’ like corona, I was able to take a chance next to my beautiful, irregular job. Because we were all temporarily on the ground due to the freeze and travel ban, I was able to make this period something else special. Where one door closes, another door opens. This post is to share the last pictures of the final evening and as a short summary.

Hi everyone! Another outfit post after a long time. I think this summer outfit is perfect for a summer trip. Not such a fun fact: these glasses fell right after the photos :'(. Unfortunately, just like everyone else, I also have to wait and see if the code yellow remains in the 2 places I planned to go, but I’m having fun fortunately well in the Netherlands. A year-long trajectory full of growth of Miss World (Netherlands) is over, and I can already tell you that an exciting new time is coming… Currently I am flying full-time again, see a lot of old and new nice colleagues in Eindhoven (my workplace), and I have a lot of shoots planned, which I would like to continue with besides my work.

Hi everyone! A little over a month ago I went on holiday to Dubai. It’s been quiet on my website for a while, but I’m really busy with fun things, especially the preparations for the Miss World Netherlands final on June 30th. I did a shoot with a very sweet KLM flight attendant last week, and there are 2 dress shoots on the schedule, in addition to blog shoots. This fantastic place is Penthouse Dubai, at Five the Palm. I went out for dinner and cocktails here at the time. An extensive Dubai diary with tips is coming! But this comes after the final of Miss World Netherlands. This fantastic suit has a hidden short in it by the way. I think the color is really beautiful. It has a satin look, which can be clearly seen in the photos, but less in reality. [Lees meer…]

Special Diary | Miss World Nederland Mother shoot, BWAP & more

23/05/2021 | 3 Reacties

Hi everyone. Again a nice post from my Miss World Netherlands adventure. This time about the “mama” shoot a while ago. A sneak peek of the ‘dad’ shoot, a shoot with my Miss World sash but separate from the organization (with Jeremy), and my BWAP (Beauty with a purpose) anti-bullying guest classes.

I hope everything is going well for you! Nice that you read my new post again. What busy weeks I have at the moment! Despite the fact that I fly very little (at the moment, in addition to the fact that I am on vacation). I am very busy. I volunteered to give a guest lecture on aviation this week for work, and the day after two guest lectures for my Miss World anti-bullying project. Also a lot of shoots on the schedule! Very busy days, but a lot of fun! I also want to share that there are some more Dubai travel posts coming soon, and Miss World posts.

Hi everyone, I just got back from Dubai for a while. After my work layover last year, I really wanted to go back. I have a 2.5 week vacation, and decided to go to Dubai for about 4,5 days. Two friends, including one that I would visit there, canceled last minute. I decided to go anyway, because I could stay with an former colleague in her airbnb, and she was also solo for part of her trip. It has been really fun! And I am happy to travel again after 7 months. I bought this neon dress last year, especially for my Dubai trip that I moved a few times. A large travel diary will soon be online, full of tips. [Lees meer…]

Today I had another blog shoot. This is my favorite outfit at the moment. I’ve had this dress for a few months now, but I still haven’t been able to capture many of the outfits that I wear lately. This beautiful luxury boutique dress is from Lavish Alice, and I bought it a while ago along with a lot of other items. Wearing a black dress is always a good choice.

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didn’t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½βœ¨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they don’t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. πŸ’«

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? πŸ˜‚
